Shift_Lock On Forum Issues - Vol. 1

Disclaimer:
First I would like to state that this is one persons point of view. It does not reflect this site (wiihacks.com) or any other staff/mod/or admin here. It is solely mine. Now even though a few may have similar points of view this should be taken as one person’s opinion. Also. This DOES NOT reflect all users and noobs here.. Just a select few personality types that pop in time to time. Let’s get started!

Outlook On Forum Rules

Now I realize many of you did not even read the rules and just agreed to them.. Kind of like signing a legal contract without reading the clause that states you just sold your life away… It happens... When it does, YOU are still responsible and held liable for your actions. No matter how much you think its BS... It’s still on you. I for one am among those who did just that when I signed up here... (Shame on me I know) I to did not read them immediately (however I did speed through it to get a general idea)... I was quickly referred to them a few times do to not being thorough enough with “speed reading”...

Why we have rules on this site

The rules here at wiihacks are here for a few key reasons. I’m only going to hit a few.

Conduct - We know it’s the net, and there are a lot of internet gangsters/bully’s/and plain jack ass’s... We don’t like that here. The ways users conduct themselves reflect the site... We want user to enjoy coming here but respect in general is needed. Flaming and such results in infractions/bans so don’t do it.

Piracy – This is a big one here, and no one seems to understand... First of all IT IS AGAINST THE RULES OF THE SITE! Which every last one of you members had to agree to follow prior to being a member here. Copyright laws vary from place to place so they are different for others. But we have to follow our copy rights here to protect our site. We DO NOT support piracy and will not assist in it. We don’t want to lose our wonderful site that you as a user come to, to find help. Big brother (the government) and big “N” (Nintendo) may be watching along with a vast amount of other private sectors looking to stop the pirating of copy righted material. Shutting down sites that support it are somewhere at the top of the list to reduce this.

Personally, I don’t care what you do... I don’t care what your online habits are or how much porn/software/media you download every day. It’s your computer and your life. YOU are responsible for anything that may occur from that. Users who lack a way with words to express themselves in what they are trying to do may get wrongly accused of being a pirate and these things occur: warnings/infractions/bans/threads closed/YouTube videos of dancing pirates/ and many many possible pictures pointing you out.

We as staff here are obligated to abide by and enforce forum rules. Whether we believe their valid or not. They are in place to protect the site and members of our community. I won’t allow a poor decision result in losing this site.

Cheating – Play Fair... I support it... Nothing I hate more than losing to a cheater... If I lose I want it to be because the other person was actually better. Cheating takes the fun out of the game... Why make it easier? Do you suck that bad at it? Don’t like the challenge? GET A DIFFERENT GAME! We don’t support cheats here. Users will not be given help on how to become invincible or walk through walls... you want god mode? Unlimited ammo? Go Google it somewhere else. Don’t ask about it here.

There are a lot of users/members that say “this is wiihacks wtf?” or "that’s the point in hacking a Wii”... No it is not….. We assist users in backing up their legally purchased games so they don’t get ruined in the future (we know how kids are)... Before backups I had bought 3 Mario karts! Ridiculous… Anyways, it also allows us to fully enjoy the console and the convenience that some mods add to the system. We make it custom and set it up the way we like it. Kind of like your pc. A lot of users buy the Wii just so they can do that! I will ban anyone who tries to argue that point... Dont be ignorant...

“So you Think You’re a Hacker”

Warning: Spoiler below is a rant.

"Shift_Lock's Rant about the tough guys"

Really guy? We are “Modder’s” at best... most users aren’t even that. A hacker would shut down this site with a single code line… Not sit here claiming he’s one arguing about rules and why he needed help... I’m not saying we don’t have members that are real “hackers” but face it... You aren’t one of them... Coders and developers are fantastic people that make all this possible. And some of those guys truly are considered hackers at some level. Now, could they hack the pentagon? Probably not, but maybe. Who knows... lol

The point of this is for those of you that come on here thinkin you’re hot [nice word]... If you were a hacker you wouldn’t need our help and wouldn’t need to hide behind a proxy or redirect to post your nonsense… Get over yourself and just follow our guides. If you can’t “hack” a Wii, what can you do? Can you hit the logout button? Try It! How about facing your fail and going back to the guides to read some more… Leave the “hacking” to the REAL hackers out there. /end rant

“Need Help?”

That’s why you’re here right? To get help Modding your Wii. Some users can just navigate the site and never need to post a thing because they can search, read and are on some level tech savvy. Other users need assistance. That’s why we are here... To support and assist those who need the help to mod or to help find solutions to their problems. We like to help… but... We don’t always like to spoon feed arrogant people who demand help or can’t use the search function... If our search is too hard to use there is Google, and if you can’t use Google then you SHOULD NOT mod your Wii...

We see the same issues every day, same posts, same questions, same answers…. SEARCH FIRST!!! Read a little… Geez people! Too lazy to search for a solution, but can type a wall of text that takes 15 mins to read? C’mon man… step up your game... My spoon hand is getting tired, gonna have to just start [nice word] slapping people with it…

Don’t be lazy... Help us, help you... If you’re really stuck then we take no issue helping as long as it’s within the lines of the rules... The “grey” area is kind of tough... The staff is here on OUR own time and do not get ANYTHING for being here helping you... We are not paid and don’t see any part of the donations... The donations go strictly to site development. Can you fathom how much it costs to run a site of this level and host the files that we do? Everything costs money... Just not the staff here so remember that the next time you are impatient or lazy... We aren’t getting paid... We are helping because we want to... So keep your cool and dont lose your head... Don’t give us reasons to NOT help you. If you do, well... Then we won’t...

"Mutli Threads, Double Posts and bumping"

Ok.. So It might not bother you but it bugs the crap outta me! It clutters the forum and makes you come off as impatient and ungrateful.

Mutli threads - Do you really need more then one?? Mods and staff see EVERY POST MADE! You only need one thread for your issue.. Dont create more then that..

Double posts - You have an "EDIT" button... it will be right under your post to the right.. it will say "EDIT".. say it with me now.. "Eh-d-it" ...... Use IT!!!

Bumping - If no one has got to you yet there IS a slim chance it was missed.. probably not.. As we answer what we know. so if we dont know, We will leave it for someone else or atleast contact another Staff member for assistance. So WAIT and be PATIENT!You can bumpAFTER 24hrs! and that it!!! I will infract/ban/scold/kick your dog/delete any users who abuse this after warnings....

More to come (without a doubt) so stay tuned for the next edition! Peace I’m out!

when I loaded up any title deleter it got an error when it was infroming my wii that its his dad...

Hmmm I think my ios 36 might be messed up but when I try downloading the one from dop mii it gives me an error on deleteing nand permison but it is ios 36 then it would explain why i cant run ssbb i thought my disk was just messed up or something like i pop it in it gives me that cool thing in the disk menu then i run it then it just errors well thats what i get from moding my wii from fail tube EDIT: Well i got it to work after a bit I dont know how it worked but i downloaded to the sd card then put it on the wii it did not work before and my neighbor brought over his mario kart game and it did not work on mine but it works on his so it must be that my ios 36 is messed up or something oh im going to post on the other tutorial thing cuz i dont want to spam this netflix one any more

I first went into the Wii Data Management and removed all Netflix instances including the 2 different saves that I found. Then I ran Any Title Deleter and did not find any Netflix HCLE related entries.

Then i tried to update to the ios56-v5662 patched with MiiMod 5.0 and kept getting failed error messages. I then ran it with WAD Manager 1.7 and it applied the ios56 patched version successfully.

Once the WAD was patched properly the Nov 2011 update to Netflix downloaded successfully and started fine.

Yes I still have original wad, I used it to reinstall old version for time being again today.

Can you share a link to your original wad? I'm not a fan of the latest Netflix channel and would like to revert back. Or, if anyone has instructions on how to revert back to the previous version, it would be appreciated. The previous version is no longer available on Shopping Channel and Netflix customer support has no way to re-install it either.

Posting here because I have FINALLY got my Australian Wii to run Netflix in Australia, without using SNEEK. The thing that was stopping everything from working in the end turned out to be a really simple but for some reason, the last thing I checked, and I don't think it's been posted explicitly, so here goes...

The Netflix Channel will only work when your Wii is set to NTSC output

Duhhh, you may say... But I went through a LOT of steps to try and make this work before I figured this out.

For reference, my Wii was originally 4.3E (red Wii). Here is my current setup, with Netflix working:

I think it might be possible to get this working on a 4.1E Region Free Wii IF all other settings are as above (i.e. just change country region to 49 for US Shop Channel to download Netflix), HOWEVER I have not tested that - I only know that DIDN'T work with PAL output. If anyone has the time/energy maybe they can confirm!

Of course SNEEK is still a good solution if you don't want to mess with your main region settings etc, and Netflix WILL NOT WORK without a genuine Netflix account and US IP address.

Have fun everyone!!

After two days, changing region, title deleting unblockus running this is what fixed mf black screen at the end. Could you please add this to the tutorial?

Would be nice to amalgamate all this into one tutorial for someone in a PAL region to access Netflix USA, for example I'm not sure about the safest way to make the changes to the system menu.
